Objectives
- To share and further explore practices for volunteers’ management at the local and international level through non-formal learning and active participation approaches
- To promote young people’s social inclusion and stimulate their active participation in democratic life
- To transfer the knowledge and know-how into a universal practice of volunteers management
- To support the professional development of staff and youth workers in managing volunteers, involving young people with a disadvantaged background, and enhancing cooperation among project partners
Activities
- TRAINING COURSE: the concept of volunteers’ management will be introduced and elaborated, through sharing volunteering practices and experience in youth work. The TC will allow participants to discover the potential of volunteerism to promote social inclusion and respect for diversity. It will be based on non-formal education methods allowing participants to identify and value their skills and permit them to transfer the acquired skills in their personal and professional life
- INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERING: During the mobility volunteers will be involved in the activities of the receiving organisation, working with various types of people with fewer opportunities, based on cooperative and experiential learning. The planned activities will foster their capacities to design, run and evaluate non-formal learning activities. In addition, they will develop skills in leadership, community building, and intercultural dialogue
